I'm also an early sower! started in the greenhouse begining of march!

We've been very lucky this year with the frosts. If we'd had frosts at the same time as we did last year, (end of May), there would be many tales of woe and a lot of despondent members.

Don't get complacent, it'll end in tears!!!

Hi all.

My Pumpkin patch has gone nuts!!

Picked 4 Turks Turbans with another 6 growing.

2 large Big Max growing nicely. Large Beach Ball size.

Butternut flowers just coming out.

I fear I was late with sowing again... my pumpkin plants are nowhere near showing signs of fruit... do they flower first like everything else?

[Pompey Spud]

Yes they do. Big yellow ones.

My patch has Bees everywhere.

I planted my plants out towards the end of May. Sowed under glass in mid April ish.

PUP!!

The later sowings are just setting fruit whilst the early squash we have been eating for weeks!

people are saying that this rain, mild weather is making their pumpkins grow a lot. on my squahses the fruit are not setting as a result of this weather. they drop off or rot on the stem. how come others are doing well  ?

This weather makes the plants grow like mad, whether they'll make pumpkins like mad remains to be seen I think we need a bit more warmth sooner rather than later as there's few pollinating insects about if it's wet or windy
